Why should he need to ?

To illustrate that a tube produces distortion, all you need to do is
to look at the transfer characteristic. No tube has a truly linear
'curve' .... ahem - hence they are called curves it seems - lol.

I you understand the science of electronics, can draw a load line and
interpret it
- that's all the evidence you need to see that any tube will
introduce distortion.

Self-noise is also inherent in any gain circuit ( whether it be tube
or solid state ) . Again, a knowledge of the science of electronics
helps here.

As for vinyl, I was under the impression that tracking error
distortion was well understood ( again from scientific principles )
and the idea of a noiseless vinyl recording seems to fall at the
first hurdle, given the difficulty of producing a perfect pressing.
Phono pre-amps also have self-noise too.

Right, and this is the essence of the proof I've provided here in the past.

Richman is obviously in denial. I seem to recall that he thinks that
cassette tape is superior to CD, as well.










Krueger is obviously delusional. He also now appears to suffer from severe
memory impairment re. cassettes vs. CD's. He has also lied once again about
statements such as "vinyl never has noise" (paraphrased) which he has
deceptively attributed to me. Needless to say, pathological liar Krueger can
provide no proof that I've made such a statement.
